To report surgical experience in pseudoaneurysm (PA) repair of arteriovenous fistula (AVF) for renal hemodialysis.Twenty patients undergoing PA repair of AVF for renal hemodialysis were treated in Central Hospital Conde S. Januario of Macao. Sixteen patients had PAs of AVF in upper extremities, 4 in lower extremities. All patients were treated with surgical therapy.All operations were finished without death. One patient suffered from acute thrombosis, recovered without any complication through instant thrombectomy. One patient with postoperative incision bleeding recovered after low molecular weight heparin was ceased. And one AVF could not be mature six weeks later, was recovered after ligation of branch vein. And one patient died due to recurrent cerebral infarction.Surgical repair is the best choice for PA of AVF for renal hemodialysis.

Methods for the treatment of tuberculous spondylitis still are controversial. The authors treated 32 consecutive patients with a two-stage surgical technique combined with antituberculous chemotherapy for 1 year. After anterior debridement, fusion with autogenous anterior iliac tricortical strut bone graft was done, and in a second stage, posterior instrumentation and fusion with autogenous posterior iliac corticocancellous bone graft was done 11 days (range, 4-22 days) later. Postoperatively, patients were encouraged to ambulate with brace protection as early as possible. Twenty-nine patients were followed up for a minimum of 2 years (median, 4.7 years; range, 2-10 years) of whom 28 patients achieved solid fusion (97%). All patients had improvement of back pain including the only patient with pseudarthrosis. Neurologic deficits completely recovered in 84% (16 of 19) of patients after 3 months. Kyphotic deformity improved in all 29 patients (34.6 degrees versus 17.3 degrees ) with the average correction angle of 17.3 degrees. Clinically, 27 patients had achieved a satisfactory outcome (93%). There were no evident surgical complications. The authors, therefore, recommend a two-stage surgical technique combined with antituberculous chemotherapy to treat patients with severe vertebral body destruction attributable to tuberculosis because of its high success rate and a low complication rate.

We reviewed a consecutive series of 16 patients above 60 years of age (mean age 71 years) who underwent reconstruction with pedicled flaps in the lower extremity. The soft tissue defects ranged from 9 to 50 cm and were caused in 11 patients (70%) by surgical complications from previous surgeries. Of these, 5 patients underwent a total joint replacement of the knee (4 cases) and of the ankle (1 case). Surgery consisted of 19 muscular flaps, and 3 fasciocutaneous flaps. Six patients were treated with a combination of 2 flaps. The overall surgical complication rate after reconstruction was 44%. There was no perioperative mortality and there were no medical complications. One patient required an above-the-knee amputation because of uncontrollable postoperative bleeding. A thrombectomy was performed in another patient to treat a postoperative popliteal artery occlusion with critical ischemia of the leg. Other complications included recurrent total joint replacement infections (2 cases), marginal flap necrosis (4 cases), and skin necrosis at the donor site (1 case). The mean hospitalization stay was 46 days. All patients but 1 completely healed, although secondary surgery was performed in 7 patients. The occurrence of complications was not correlated with the preoperative morbidity or an age above 75 years. The local complication rate was higher than reported for free flap in the same age category, but the lack of perioperative mortality and medical complications make it a low-risk option for reconstruction of small- to middle-sized defects in the elderly.

Abstract Some 114 patients (median age 52 years) underwent laparoscopic hernia repair as a day-case procedure. Twenty-one patients had bilateral and 11 recurrent hernias. Some 113 patients underwent transabdominal preperitoneal mesh repair but one required conversion to open operation. Mean operating time was 24 min for unilateral and 38 min for bilateral repair. In an operating session of 3·5 h, up to five patients (mean 4·4) underwent surgery and as many as seven hernias were repaired. More than 10 per cent of patients were found to have a previously undiagnosed hernia on the opposite side. A total of 111 patients were discharged home on the day of surgery. Major complications included one omental bleed and one small bowel obstruction. Seroma was the commonest minor complication and occurred in 7 per cent of patients. More than 35 per cent of patients needed no postoperative analgesia. To date there has been one recurrence (follow-up range 2–18 months).

Objective To investigate the clinical application value of laparoscopc high ligation for indirect inguinalhernia in children.MethodsThe retrospective analysis was made on the clinical data of 211 children who suffered from indirect inguinalhernia.In this study,106 patients underwent Laparoscopic operation and 105 patients underwent classical operation,and The operative time for one side of hernia,postoperative complications,postoperative recurrence were evaluated with randomized contrast analysis.ResultsThe operative time for one side of hernia,postoperative complications,postoperative recurrence and the average days in hospital in the group of underwent laparoscopic operation(A group)were less than that of classical operation(B group).postoperative recurrence was observed in 1 child in A group,who required a re-operation of laparoscopic repair;postoperative recurrence were observed in 6 child in B group,2 of whom were cured with laparoscopic operation and 4 of whom with open operation.ConclusionLaparoscopy operation had obvious superiority for the children's indirect inguinalhernia in treatment,and was the first choice.

Incisional hernias develop in up to 11% of surgical abdominal wounds with a possible recurrence following repair of 44%. We describe our experience with a combined fascial and prosthetic mesh repair. Thirty-five patients (16M:19F) have been treated. The original operation was bowel related in 19 cases, gynaecological in 8, hepatopancreaticobiliary in 3 patients, aortic aneurysm repair in 2 and involved a thoraco-laparotomy in 3. The incisions were midline in 26 cases, transverse in 6, paramedian in 2 and rooftop in one patient. The hernias were considered subjectively to be large in 15, medium in 14 and small in 6 of the patients. A proforma was completed for each patient noting intra-operative and post-operative complications, post-operative hospital stay and analgesic requirements. Post-operative complications included seroma formation in 6 patients, deep vein thrombosis in one and a non-fatal pulmonary embolism in another. One patient developed a wound haematoma and one had a superficial wound infection. Post-operative in-hospital stay ranged from 1 to 27 days with a mean of 6.2 days. Of the 35 patients 33 were available for follow-up. Follow-up was for a median of 20.3 months (range 6.0 to 54.1 months). Two of these (6%) patients reported a persistent lump and one (3%) reported persistent pain but none of the remaining 33 was found to have a recurrence. We advocate this technique because it is applicable to all hernias, most of the mesh is behind the rectus sheath and has 2 points of fixation, it is relatively pain-free allowing early mobilisation, has a modest complication rate and a low recurrence rate.
